Could this be the next big thing in running? The Hoka Mafate shoes are causing a real stir in ultra distance trail running world due to their amazing shock absorbing ability and comfort over extreme distances.
These ultra lightweight trail runners are stable, grippy and massively cushioned. Especially suited to the high mileage athlete, the Hoka Mafate shoes really soak up the pounding caused by mile after mile of hard packed terrain. By using an EVA 30% softer and increasing its total volume to 2.5 times than found in a typical trail running shoe, the Hoka's give you more cushioning than any other shoe on the market today. This acts to disipate up to 80% of the shock created when running. This high level of cushioning gives you as much as 20mm of compression in the heel, yet is still superbly stable in use, giving you confidence on mixed terrain, both up and downhill.
This high level of lightweight cushioning means that the stresses on your body are radically reduced, allowing you to run longer and further with less fatigue and with a lower risk of sports related injuries.
